The Toilet of Venus, 1679-80
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Raymond Lafage is a captivating artwork that transports us to the realm of Greek mythology. In this exquisite print, we witness the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite (also known as Venus), indulging in her daily ritual of self-care. The scene unfolds within a semicircular design, adorned with intricate mythological motifs. Cherubs and putti surround the goddess, symbolizing love and romance. With utmost grace, Aphrodite sits before her vanity mirror while cherubim comb her luscious locks. Her reflection reveals timeless beauty as she meticulously brushes her hair. Aphrodite's divine presence is enhanced by the ethereal atmosphere created through delicate pen strokes and washes over black chalk on paper. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance in the folds of fabric draping around Venus' form. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from "The Devonshire Collections" housed at Chatsworth estate, we are reminded of the eternal allure associated with myths and legends. Lafage skillfully captures both the physicality and essence of Aphrodite's vanity routine – an act that embodies not only superficial beauty but also inner confidence. This print invites us to contemplate our own relationship with self-care and how it intertwines with notions of femininity, desire, and personal identity throughout history. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time while celebrating timeless themes such as love, beauty, and mythology
